When he went into hiatus, Okamoto explained that he had been having throat discomfort, and a medial examination uncovered scarring on his vocal cords.
Okamoto noted that he will be the only one in the episode who will record remotely.
Okamoto noted that surgery plans came together at the last minute due to the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and he apologized for the sudden announcement.
Okamoto will join fellow voice actors and KENN and Daisuke Namikawa on their regular Meikoi Radio Roman de Night program on Wednesday.
